serge 904 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Thats how I started. I wasnt willing to dish out that much for a hockey pool.After a few successful years, we split up. (Serge, my partner was Armen, who you met at the drafts)The pool now is not allowing partners.thats cool..Well you know who to call, if someone drops out...I am dead money as you know.. I know a lot of sick gamblers around my circle, maybe ill try to start up a $500 a year hockey pool... Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 if you think about it whats $500..The average sports bettor bets that just in proline over the course of a year. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 Oh, and I dont about the rest of you, but that kinda money is not for the weak of heart. With 3 days to go in the season, I was out of 1st place because of 5 penalty minutes. So, 5 penatly minutes would have cost me $3k+.A few years ago there was an incredible virtual 3 way tie, and a guy won the 3rd place $1300, instead of $7k, because of 1goal!can be brutal!(then again, I lost out on Hall/Seguin in the AHL cause of 1goal, so I guess it can happen in any pool! at least I got lucky in the Reject Cup) Link to post Share on other sites

Dubey 1,035 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I am ridiculously pumped. This will be my 9th trip to Vegas, and I think I'm more excited for this one than any other. Going with my closest 6 friends. Basically the guys me and my Brother grew up with, we've planned this trip for a couple years. I should PM my cell number to somebody. I think our social calendar down there is going to be pretty jam packed, plus I'll be pretty much hammered about 99% of the time, so I can't guarantee anything, but I'd like to get together for some beers with the hockey guys if it happens.At the very least, MGM people, keep an eye out for a gigantically tall guy in his mid twenties (I'm 6'9, 26 years old). If you see two gigantically tall guys walking next to each other (my Brother is 6'6), then you'll know its us. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Well, I prob won't be at MGM that much, but if I see two tall people I'll randomly yell out Dubey, if I get a reply, I'll know it's you guys. Link to post Share on other sites

If you want, PM me your number and Ill try you when Im around on Sunday night. Ill be working that day, not sure if Ill be done by (hopefully) 5pm or closer 8pm. We can try to fund Zach+Ray too. Zach, where are you guys on Sunday? PH? Its not a far walk, we could easily converge somewhere.If we're all free, be good to meet up, maybe even catch some of the hockey game or just drink. Oddsmakers: Whats the over/under on how many times I yell Dubey once Im hammered and anyone over 6ft walks by me???? Link to post Share on other sites

Your level of "I really dont know/care where I sleep" is legendary. I was offered the same $99 thing for Wynn. I told my buddies I might just get a second room and stay at Encore for 2/3nights and leave MGM for 48hrs. if I like the flow at Encore. I got a bunch of different friends from different parts of my life in town that week, just great timing, along with the close friends who were coming down already for the week. Gonna be great.
